Mandatory Termination Date (6)\t	January 7, 2028
Income Account Distribution Record Date\t	Tenth day of each month, commencing November 10, 2026.

(1)

As of the Evaluation Time (defined below in footnote 4) on October 12, 2026, we may adjust the number\nof Units of a Trust so that the Public Offering Price per Unit will equal approximately $10.00. If we make such an adjustment, the fractional\nundivided interest per Unit will vary from the amount indicated above.

(2)

The Public Offering Price shown above reflects the value of the Securities on the business day prior to\nthe Initial Date of Deposit. No investor will purchase Units at this price. The price you pay for your Units will be based on their valuation\nat the Evaluation Time on the date you purchase your Units. On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering Price per Unit will not\ninclude any accumulated dividends on the Securities. After this date, a pro rata share of any accumulated dividends on the Securities\nwill be included.

(3)

You will pay a maximum sales charge of 1.85% of the Public Offering Price per Unit (equivalent to 1.85%\nof the net amount invested) which consists of an initial sales charge, a deferred sales charge and a creation and development fee. The\nsales charges are described in the “Fee Table.”

(4)

Each listed Security is valued at its last closing sale price at the Evaluation Time on the business day\nprior to the Initial Date of Deposit. If a Security is not listed, or if no closing sale price exists, it is valued at its closing ask\nprice on such date. See “Public Offering–The Value of the Securities.” Evaluations for purposes of determining the purchase,\nsale or redemption price of Units are made as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00\np.m. Eastern time) on each day on which it is open (the “Evaluation Time”).

(5)

The creation and development fee and estimated organization costs per Unit will be deducted from the assets\nof a Trust at the end of the initial offering period. If Units are redeemed prior to the close of the initial offering period, these fees\nwill not be deducted from the redemption proceeds. See “Redeeming Your Units.”

(6)

See “Amending or Terminating the Indenture.”

(7)

The Trustee will distribute money from the Income and Capital Accounts monthly on the twenty-fifth day\nof each month to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of each month if the amount available for distribution from an account equals\nat least $1.00 per 100 Units. See “Income and Capital Distributions.”

\n \n \n

Fee\n Table (Unaudited)

Fee Table

This Fee Table describes\nthe fees and expenses that you may, directly or indirectly, pay if you buy and hold Units of a Trust. See “Public Offering”\nand “Expenses and Charges.” Although each Trust has a term of approximately 15 months and is a unit investment trust\nrather than a mutual fund, this information allows you to compare fees.

Example

This example is intended\nto help you compare the cost of investing in a Trust with the cost of investing in other investment products. The example assumes that\nyou invest $10,000 in a Trust and the principal amount and distributions are rolled every 15 months into a New Trust. The example\nalso assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that your Trust’s, and each New Trust’s, sales charges and expenses\nstay the same. The example does not take into consideration transaction fees which may be charged by certain broker/dealers for processing\nredemption requests. Although your actual costs may vary, based on these assumptions your costs, assuming you roll your proceeds from\none trust to the next for the periods shown, would be:

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series\t\t\t	$263	$807	$1,111	$2,390
Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series\t\t\t	236	726	1,002	\t 2,167

If you elect not to\nroll your proceeds from one trust to the next, your costs will be limited by the number of years your proceeds are invested, as set forth\nabove.

(a)

The combination of the initial and deferred sales charge comprises what we refer to as the “transactional\nsales charge.” The initial sales charge is actually equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 1.85% and the sum\nof any remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee. When the Public Offering Price per Unit equals $10, there is\nno initial sales charge. If the price you pay for your Units exceeds $10 per Unit, you will pay an initial sales charge.

(b)

The deferred sales charge is a fixed dollar amount equal to $.135 per Unit which, as a percentage of the\nPublic Offering Price, will vary over time. The deferred sales charge will be deducted in three monthly installments commencing January\n20, 2027.

(c)

The creation and development fee compensates the Sponsor for creating and developing the Trusts. The creation\nand development fee is a charge of $.050 per Unit collected at the end of the initial offering period, which is expected to be approximately\nthree months from the Initial Date of Deposit. If the price you pay for your Units exceeds $10 per Unit, the creation and development\nfee will be less than 0.50%; if the price you pay for your Units is less than $10 per Unit, the creation and development fee will exceed\n0.50%. If you purchase Units after the initial offering period, you will not be assessed the creation and development fee.

(d)

Estimated organization costs, which include a one-time licensing fee, will be deducted from the assets\nof each Trust at the end of the initial offering period. Estimated organization costs are assessed on a fixed dollar amount per Unit basis\nwhich, as a percentage of average net assets, will vary over time.

(e)

Each of the fees listed herein is assessed on a fixed dollar amount per Unit basis which, as a percentage\nof average net assets, will vary over time.

(f)

Other operating expenses do not include brokerage costs and other portfolio transaction fees for any of\nthe Trusts. In certain circumstances the Trusts may incur additional expenses not set forth above. See “Expenses and Charges.”

Report of Independent\n Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting\n Firm

To the Unit Holders\nand the Sponsor, First Trust Portfolios L.P., of FT 13253

Opinion on the Statements\nof Net Assets

We\nhave audited the accompanying statements of net assets, including the schedules of investments, of FT 13253, comprising Target\nDvd. Dbl. Play 4Q ’26 - Term 1/7/28 (Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series) and Target Dvd. Triple Play\n4Q ’26 - Term 1/7/28 (Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series)\n(collectively the “Trusts”), one of the series constituting the FT Series, as of the opening of business on October 9,\n2026 (Initial Date of Deposit), and the related notes. In our opinion, the statements of net assets present fairly, in all material respects,\nthe financial position of each of the Trusts constituting FT 13253 as of the opening of business on October 9, 2026 (Initial Date\nof Deposit), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These\nstatements of net assets are the responsibility of the Trusts’ Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trusts’\nstatements of net assets based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight\nBoard (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trusts in accordance with the U.S. federal securities\nlaws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We\nconducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain\nreasonable assurance about whether the statements of net assets are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The\nTrusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part\nof our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing\nan opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our\naudits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the statements of net assets, whether due to error\nor fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding\nthe amounts and disclosures in the statements of net assets. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant\nestimates made by the Trusts’ Sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statements of net assets. Our procedures\nincluded confirmation of the irrevocable letter of credit held by The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee, and allocated among the Trusts\nfor the purchase of securities, as shown in the statements of net assets, as of the opening of business on October 9, 2026, by correspondence\nwith the Trustee. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS\nOF NET ASSETS

Each\nTrust is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Sponsor is responsible for the preparation\nof financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Sponsor to\nmake estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Trust intends\nto comply in its initial fiscal year and thereafter with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies\nand as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gains) distributed\nto Unit holders.

(1)

Each Trust invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks.\nAggregate cost of the Securities listed under “Schedule of Investments” for each Trust is based on their aggregate underlying\nvalue. Each Trust has a Mandatory Termination Date of January 7, 2028.

(2)

An irrevocable letter of credit for approximately $600,000, issued\nby The Bank of New York Mellon (approximately $300,000 has been allocated to Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series;\nand approximately $300,000 has been allocated to Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series), has been deposited with\nthe Trustee as collateral, covering the monies necessary for the purchase of the Securities according to their purchase contracts.

(3)

A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of an amount sufficient\nto reimburse the Sponsor for all or a portion of the costs of establishing the Trusts. The estimated organization costs range from $.0320\nto $.0580 per Unit for the Trusts, as described in the Fee Table. A payment will be made at the end of the initial offering period to\nan account maintained by the Trustee from which the obligation of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. To the extent that actual\norganization costs of a Trust are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs added to the Public Offering\nPrice will be reimbursed to the Sponsor and deducted from the assets of such Trust.

(4)

Represents the amount of mandatory deferred sales charge distributions\nof $.135 per Unit, payable to the Sponsor in three equal monthly installments beginning on January 20, 2027 and on the twentieth day of\neach month thereafter (or if such date is not a business day, on the preceding business day) through March 19, 2027. If Unit holders redeem\nUnits before March 19, 2027, they will have to pay the remaining amount of the deferred sales charge applicable to such Units when they\nredeem them.

(5)

The creation and development fee ($.050 per Unit for each Trust)\nis payable by a Trust on behalf of Unit holders out of assets of a Trust at the end of a Trust’s initial offering period. If Units\nare redeemed prior to the close of the initial offering period, the fee will not be deducted from the proceeds.

(6)

Net asset value per Unit is calculated by dividing a Trust’s\nnet assets by the number of Units outstanding. This figure includes organization costs and the creation and development fee, which will\nonly be assessed to Units outstanding at the close of the initial offering period.

(7)

The aggregate cost to investors in a Trust includes a maximum sales\ncharge (comprised of an initial sales charge, a deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee) computed at the rate of 1.85%\nof the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 1.85% of the net amount invested, exclusive of the deferred sales charge and the creation\nand development fee), assuming no reduction of the maximum sales charge as set forth under “Public Offering.”

The FT Series

The FT Series Defined.

We, First Trust Portfolios L.P. (the “Sponsor”),\nhave created hundreds of similar yet separate series of a unit investment trust which we have named the FT Series. The series to which\nthis prospectus relates, FT 13253, consists of two separate portfolios set forth below:

\n \n \n \n \n

• Target Dvd. Dbl. Play 4Q ’26 - Term 1/7/28
\n(Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series)

• Target Dvd. Triple Play 4Q ’26 - Term 1/7/28
\n(Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio, 4th Quarter 2026 Series)

Each Trust was created under the laws of\nthe State of New York by a Trust Agreement (the “Indenture”) dated the Initial Date of Deposit. This agreement, entered into\namong First Trust Portfolios L.P., as Sponsor, The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee and First Trust Advisors L.P. as Portfolio Supervisor,\ngoverns the operation of the Trusts.

You may get more specific details concerning the nature, structure\nand risks of this product in an “Information Supplement” by calling the Sponsor at 800–621–1675, dept. code 2.

How We Created the Trusts.

On the Initial Date of Deposit, we deposited\nportfolios of common stocks with the Trustee and, in turn, the Trustee delivered documents to us representing our ownership of the Trusts\nin the form of units (“Units”).

After the Initial Date of Deposit, we may\ndeposit additional Securities in a Trust, or cash (including a letter of credit or the equivalent) with instructions to buy more Securities,\nto create new Units for sale. If we create additional Units, we will attempt, to the extent practicable, to maintain the percentage relationship\nestablished among the Securities on the Initial Date of Deposit (as set forth in “Schedule of Investments” for each Trust),\nadjusted to reflect the sale, redemption or liquidation of any of the Securities or any stock split or a merger or other similar event\naffecting the issuer of the Securities.

Since the prices of the Securities will fluctuate\ndaily, the ratio of Securities in the Trusts, on a market value basis, will also change daily. The portion of Securities represented by\neach Unit will not change as a result of the deposit of additional Securities or cash in a Trust. If we deposit cash, you and new investors\nmay experience a dilution of your investment. This is because prices of Securities will fluctuate between the time of the cash deposit\nand the purchase of the Securities, and because the Trusts pay the associated brokerage fees. To reduce this dilution, the Trusts will\ntry to buy the Securities as close to the Evaluation Time and as close to the evaluation price as possible. In addition, because the Trusts\npay the brokerage fees associated with the creation of new Units and with the sale of Securities to meet redemption and exchange requests,\nfrequent redemption and exchange activity will likely result in higher brokerage expenses.

An affiliate of the Trustee may receive these\nbrokerage fees or the Trustee may retain and pay us (or our affiliate) to act as agent for a Trust to buy Securities. If we or an affiliate\nof ours act as agent to a Trust, we will be subject to the restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940\nAct”). When acting in an agency capacity, we may select various broker/dealers to execute securities transactions on behalf of the\nTrusts, which may include broker/dealers who sell Units of the Trusts. We do not consider sales of Units of the Trusts or any other products\nsponsored by First Trust as a factor in selecting such broker/dealers.

We cannot guarantee that a Trust will keep\nits present size and composition for any length of time. Securities may be periodically sold under certain circumstances to satisfy Trust\nobligations, to meet redemption requests and, as described in “Removing Securities from a Trust,” to maintain the sound investment\ncharacter of a Trust, and the proceeds received by a Trust will be used to meet Trust obligations or distributed to Unit holders. However,\nSecurities will not be sold to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation or depreciation,\nor if they no longer meet the criteria by which they were selected. You will not be able to dispose of or vote any of the Securities in\nthe Trusts. As the holder of the Securities, the Trustee will vote the Securities and, except as described in “Removing Securities\nfrom a Trust,” will endeavor to vote the Securities such that the Securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner\nand the same general proportion as are the Securities held by owners other than such Trust.

Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable\nfor a failure in any of the Securities. However, if a contract for the purchase of any of the Securities initially deposited in a Trust\nfails, unless we can purchase substitute Securities (“Replacement Securities”) we will refund to you that portion of the purchase\nprice and transactional sales charge resulting from the failed contract on the next Income Account Distribution Date. Any Replacement\nSecurity a Trust acquires will be identical to those from the failed contract.

\n \n \n

Portfolios

Objective.

Each Trust seeks above-average total return.\nTo achieve this objective, each Trust will invest in the common stocks of companies which are selected by applying a unique specialized\nstrategy. While the Trusts seek above-average total return, each follows a different investment strategy. We cannot guarantee that a Trust\nwill achieve its objective or that a Trust will make money once expenses are deducted. Under normal circumstances, each Trust will invest\nat least 80% of their assets in dividend-paying securities. The Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio is concentrated (i.e., invests 25%\nor more of Trust assets) in common stocks of companies within the financials sector.

Portfolio Selection Process.

\n \n \n

Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio

The Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio\nis a unit investment trust which consists of an approximately equal weighting between two strategies – The S&P Dividend Aristocrats\nTarget 25 Strategy and the Target High Quality Dividend Strategy. The Trust invests in a fixed portfolio of stocks which are selected\nby applying pre-determined screens and factors and holds the stocks for approximately 15 months.

The composition of the Trust on the Initial\nDate of Deposit is as follows:

•

Approximately 50% of the portfolio is composed of common stocks which comprise the S&P Dividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy;\nand

•

Approximately 50% of the portfolio is composed of common stocks which comprise the Target High Quality Dividend Strategy.

S&P Dividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy

The S&P Dividend Aristocrats Target\n25 Strategy invests in companies from the S&P 500^® Dividend Aristocrats^® Index. The index consists of\ncompanies from the S&P 500^® Index that have increased dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. The S&P\nDividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy stocks are determined as follows:

•

We begin with all stocks contained in the S&P 500^® Dividend Aristocrats^®\nIndex as of two business days prior to the date of this prospectus. Regulated investment companies, limited partnerships and business\ndevelopment companies are not eligible for selection.

•

We rank each stock on three equally-weighted factors:

•

Debt to equity. Compares a company’s long-term debt to their stockholder’s equity.\nHigher levels of this ratio are associated with higher risk, lower levels with lower risk.

•

Price to cash flow. Measures the cost of a company’s stock for every dollar of cash flow\ngenerated. A lower, but positive, ratio indicates investors are paying less for the cash flow generated which can be a sign of value.

•

Return on assets. Compares a company’s net income to its total assets. The ratio shows\nhow efficiently a company generates net income from its assets.

•

We rank each of the companies by their combined factor scores.

•

We select an approximately equally-weighted portfolio of the best scoring 25 stocks with a maximum\nof seven stocks from any one of the major Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS^®”)\nmarket sectors. If more than seven stocks from any one of the major GICS^®\nsectors are selected, these stocks are excluded and replaced with the next best scoring stocks which satisfy the criteria set forth above.\nIn the event of a tie, the stock with the better return on assets ratio is selected.

Target High Quality Dividend Strategy

•

Begin with the 1,000 stocks with the largest market capitalization as of two business days prior\nto the Initial Date of Deposit which trade on a U.S. exchange, excluding real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), American\nDepositary Receipts/ADRs, regulated investment companies and limited partnerships.

•

Select only those stocks that meet the following criteria:

– Minimum three\nmonth average daily trading volume of $2.5 million.

– Three consecutive\nyears of dividend increases.

•

Screen for quality on the following factors:

– Net debt to\nassets of less than 50%.

– Three-year\npayout ratio of less than 50% of earnings.

– Positive free\ncash flow after dividends for the trailing 12 months.

•

Purchase an approximately equally-weighted portfolio of the 30 stocks with the highest dividend\nyield, subject to a maximum of nine stocks from any one of the major GICS^® market sectors. The Financials and Real Estate\nsectors are combined for the sector limit purpose.

\n \n \n

Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio

The Trust is a unit investment trust which\nconsists of an approximately equal weighting between three strategies – The S&P Dividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy, the\nTarget High Quality Dividend Strategy and the Value Line^® Target Safety 30 Strategy. It invests in a fixed portfolio of\nstocks which are selected by applying predetermined screens and factors and holds the stocks for approximately 15 months.

The composition of the Trust on the Initial\nDate of Deposit is as follows:

•

Approximately one-third of the portfolio is composed of common stocks which comprise the S&P Dividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy;

•

Approximately one-third of the portfolio is composed of common stocks which comprise the Target High Quality Dividend Strategy; and

•

Approximately one-third of the portfolio is composed of common stocks which comprise the Value Line^® Target Safety\n30 Strategy.

The Securities which comprise the S&P\nDividend Aristocrats Target 25 Strategy and the Target High Quality Dividend Strategy were chosen by applying the same selection criteria\nset forth above under the caption “Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio.” The Securities which comprise the Value Line^®\nTarget Safety 30 Strategy portion of the Trust were selected as follows:

Value Line^® Target Safety 30 Strategy.

Value Line^® ranks approximately\n1,700 stocks which represent approximately 90% of the trading volume on all U.S. stock exchanges. The Value Line^® Safety\nrank measures the total risk of a stock relative to the other stocks in the Value Line^® universe. Value Line^®\nbases their Safety rankings from #1 through #5 on various factors including price stability and financial strength. Stocks rated #1 or\n#2 tend to be less volatile than those rated #4 or #5. The Value Line^® Target Safety 30 Strategy invests in 30 companies\nthat Value Line^® gives a #1 or #2 ranking for Safety^TM.

The Value Line^® Target Safety\n30 Strategy stocks are determined as follows:

•

Begin with all stocks or American Depositary Receipts/ADRs that Value Line^® gives a #1 and #2 ranking for Safety^TM\nas of two business days prior to the Initial Date of Deposit.

•

Eliminate business development companies, regulated investment companies, limited partnerships, REITs and companies that do not trade\non U.S. exchanges.

•

Select companies with a market capitalization greater than $1 billion and a three month average daily dollar volume greater than $5 million.

•

Select companies with an indicated dividend yield above 2%.

•

Eliminate companies that do not have positive free cash flow after subtracting dividends and those that do not have return on equity\nabove 10%.

•

Rank all of the remaining companies on price volatility and price to cash flow. These rankings are separate, but equally weighted.\nCompanies with lower price volatility and lower, but positive, price to cash flow receive higher rankings.

•

Purchase an approximately equally weighted portfolio of the 30 eligible stocks with the best overall ranking subject to a maximum\nof six stocks in any one of the major GICS^® market sectors. If, through the selection process, the stocks selected would\ncause the Trust to exceed the six stocks in any one GICS^® sector limitation, the lowest ranked stock or stocks from that\nGICS^® sector will be replaced with the next highest ranked stock or stocks in any of the other GICS^® sectors.\nIn the event of a tie, the stock with lower price to cash flow is selected. If the sector maximum of six stocks does not result in a 30\nstock portfolio, the sector restriction will be relaxed to seven stocks. If this too does not result in a 30 stock portfolio it will be\nrelaxed to eight stocks, then nine, and finally a maximum of ten stocks in an any one of the major GICS^® market sectors.\nShould a 30 stock portfolio not exist at the ten stock maximum, the next highest eligible dividend yielding names will be added until\n30 eligible stocks are selected subject to a maximum of ten stocks in any one sector.

Other Considerations.

Please note that we applied the strategies\nwhich make up a portion of the portfolio for each Trust at a particular time. If we create additional Units of a Trust after the Initial\nDate of Deposit we will deposit the Securities originally selected by applying each strategy on the Initial Date of Deposit. This is true\neven if a later application of a strategy would have resulted in the selection of different securities. In addition, companies which,\nbased on publicly available information as of the date the Securities were selected, are the subject of an announced business combination\nwhich we expect will happen within 12 months of the date of this prospectus are not eligible for inclusion in a Trust’s portfolio.

The Securities for each of the strategies\nwere selected as of a strategy’s selection date using closing market prices on such date or, if a particular market was not open\nfor trading on such date, closing market prices on the day immediately prior to the strategy’s selection date in which such market\nwas open. In addition, companies which, based on publicly available information on or before their respective selection date, are subject\nto any of the limited circumstances which warrant removal of a Security from a Trust as described under “Removing Securities from\na Trust” are not eligible for inclusion in a Trust’s portfolio.

While\nnot a part of the Trusts’ portfolio selection processes, certain of the Trusts also invest in companies with various market\ncapitalizations.

As with any similar investments, there can\nbe no assurance that the objective of a Trust will be achieved. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the risks of investing\nin a Trust.

Risk Factors

Price Volatility. The Trusts invest\nin common stocks. The value of a Trust’s Units will fluctuate with changes in the value of these common stocks. Common stock prices\nfluctuate for several reasons including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general\ncondition of the relevant stock market, such as market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur. In\naddition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs\nincrease, negatively impacting issuers.

Because the Trusts are not managed, the Trustee\nwill not sell stocks in response to or in anticipation of market fluctuations, as is common in managed investments. As with any investment,\nwe cannot guarantee that the performance of any Trust will be positive over any period of time, especially the relatively short 15-month\nlife of the Trusts, or that you won’t lose money. Units of the Trusts are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed\nby the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that\na particular security, or Units of the Trusts in general, may fall in value or underperform other investments. Securities are subject\nto market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and\nperceived trends in securities prices. As a means to fight inflation, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised\ninterest rates and may continue to do so. Potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or\nmarkets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility\nand reduce liquidity. Additionally, challenges in commercial real estate markets, including declining valuations and elevated vacancies,\ncould have a broader impact on financial markets. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural\ndisasters, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, political turbulence or other events could have a\nsignificant negative impact on the Trusts and their investments. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well\nas political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad, have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the U.S. regulatory\nlandscape, markets and investor behavior, which could have a negative impact on the Trusts’ investments and operations. The change\nin administration resulting from the 2024 United States national elections could result in significant impacts to international trade\nrelations, tax and immigration policies, and other aspects of the national and international political and financial landscape, which\ncould affect, among other things, inflation and the securities markets generally. Administrative actions against companies in certain\nindustries, such as the defense industry, prohibiting them from paying dividends or engaging in stock buybacks, may negatively impact\nthe performance of such companies and the Trusts’ investments. Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and\namong the United States, Israel, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to\ncause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and other\nnations. Such events may also disrupt global trade and supply chains, increase sanctions and other governmental actions, and contribute\nto volatility in oil and natural gas markets. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant\nimpact on certain Trust investments as well as Trust performance. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well\nas the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes, including the imposition of tariffs, and other matters.\nA public health crisis, and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks in response, could cause significant volatility\nand uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects. Such events may affect certain geographic regions,\ncountries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the\noverall performance of a Trust. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation\nof artificial intelligence. Additionally, cybersecurity breaches of both government and non-government entities could have negative impacts\non infrastructure and the ability of such entities, including the Trusts, to operate properly. Such events could adversely affect the\nprices and liquidity of a Trust’s portfolio securities and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Any such circumstances\ncould have a materially negative impact on the value of a Trust’s Units and result in increased market volatility.

Dividends.\nCommon stocks may pay dividends, but there is no guarantee that the issuers of the common stocks will declare dividends in the future\nor that, if declared, they will either remain at current levels or increase over time.

Concentration Risk. When\n25% or more of a trust’s portfolio is invested in securities issued by companies within a single sector, the trust is considered\nto be concentrated in that particular sector. A portfolio concentrated in one or more sectors may present more risks than a portfolio\nbroadly diversified over several sectors.

The\nTarget Dividend Double Play Portfolio is concentrated in common stocks of companies within\nthe financials sector.

Financials. Financial companies, such\nas retail and commercial banks, insurance companies and financial services companies, are subject to extensive governmental regulation\nand intervention, which may adversely affect the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, the amount and types of capital\nthey must maintain and, potentially, their size. Governmental regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences\nfor financial companies, including effects not intended by such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent\nor future regulation in various countries, on any individual financial company or on financial companies as a whole cannot be predicted.\nCertain risks may impact the value of investments in financial companies more severely than those of investments in other issuers, including\nthe risks associated with companies that operate with substantial financial leverage. Financial companies may also be adversely affected\nby volatility in interest rates, decreases in the availability of money or asset valuations, credit rating downgrades and adverse conditions\nin other related markets. Insurance companies in particular may be subject to severe price competition and/or rate regulation, which may\nhave an adverse impact on their profitability. Financial companies are also a target for cyber-attacks and may experience technology malfunctions\nand disruptions as a result.

In\naddition, general economic conditions are important to the operations of financial companies. Deteriorating economic fundamentals may\nincrease the risk of default or insolvency of particular financial institutions, negatively impact market value, cause credit spreads\nto widen, and reduce bank balance sheets. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated\nwith investment activities may have an adverse effect on the profitability of financial companies. While financial companies such as banks\ntend to increase reserves in anticipation of economic stress, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be sufficient to cover\nrising default rates. Financial companies may be highly dependent upon access to capital markets, and any impediments to such access,\nsuch as adverse overall economic conditions or a negative perception in the capital markets of a company’s financial condition or\nprospects, could adversely affect its business. For example, any failure of a bank can result in disruption to the broader banking industry\nor markets generally, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Some financial companies may also be required to\naccept or borrow significant amounts of capital from government sources. There is no guarantee that governments will provide any such\nrelief in the future and no certainty that such relief will mitigate the effects of any failure of a financial institution on the economy\nor otherwise strengthen public confidence in financial institutions. These actions may cause the securities of many companies in the financials\nsector to decline in value.

Strategy.\nPlease note that we applied the strategies which make up the portfolio for each Trust at a particular time. If we create additional Units\nof a Trust after the Initial Date of Deposit, we will deposit the Securities originally selected by applying the strategy on the Initial\nDate of Deposit. This is true even if a later application of a strategy would have resulted in the selection of different securities.\nThere is no guarantee the investment objective of a Trust will be achieved. The actual performance of the Trusts will be different than\nthe hypothetical returns of each Trust’s strategy. No representation is made that the Trusts will or are likely to achieve the hypothetical\nperformance shown. Because the Trusts are unmanaged and follow a strategy, the Trustee will not buy or sell Securities in the event a\nstrategy is not achieving the desired results.

Foreign Securities. Risks of foreign\nsecurities include higher brokerage costs; different accounting standards; expropriation, nationalization or other adverse political or\neconomic developments; currency devaluations, blockages or transfer restrictions; restrictions on foreign investments and exchange of\nsecurities; inadequate financial information; lack of liquidity of certain foreign markets; and less government supervision and regulation\nof exchanges, brokers, and issuers in foreign countries. Certain foreign markets have experienced heightened volatility due to recent\nnegative political or economic developments or natural disasters. Securities issued by non-U.S. issuers may pay dividends in foreign currencies\nand may be principally traded in foreign currencies. Therefore, there is a risk that the U.S. dollar value of these dividend payments\nand/or securities will vary with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Risks associated with investing in foreign securities may be\nmore pronounced in emerging or developing markets where the securities markets are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid,\nless regulated, and more volatile than the securities markets of the United States and developed foreign markets. In addition, less information\nabout emerging and developing market companies is publicly available due to differences in regulatory, accounting, audit and financial\nrecordkeeping standards and information that is available may be unreliable or outdated. Moreover, the rights and remedies associated\nwith emerging or developing market investment securities may be different than those available for investments in more developed markets.

Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary\nreceipts (which may include American Depositary Receipts/ADRs, Global Depositary Receipts/GDRs, New York Registry Shares, and/or similarly\nstructured securities) are securities issued by a bank or trust company reflecting ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign\ncompany. Depositary receipts may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Any distributions paid to\nthe holders of depositary receipts are usually subject to a fee charged by the depositary. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited\nvoting rights, and investment restrictions in certain countries may adversely impact the value of depositary receipts because such restrictions\nmay limit the ability to convert shares into depositary receipts and vice versa. Such restrictions may cause shares of the underlying\nissuer to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the depositary receipts. Moreover, depositary receipts may be “sponsored”\nor “unsponsored.” Sponsored depositary receipts are established jointly by a depositary and the underlying issuer, whereas\nunsponsored depositary receipts may be established by a depositary without participation by the underlying issuer. Holders of unsponsored\ndepositary receipts generally bear all the costs associated with establishing the unsponsored depositary receipts. In addition, the issuers\nof the securities underlying unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose material information in the U.S. and, therefore,\nthere may be less information available regarding such issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market\nvalue of the depositary receipts.

Small\nand/or Mid Capitalization Companies. Investing in stocks of small and/or mid capitalization companies may involve greater risk than\ninvesting in larger companies. For example, such companies may have limited product lines, as well as shorter operating histories, less\nexperienced management and more limited financial resources than larger companies. Securities of such companies generally trade in lower\nvolumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable changes in price than securities of larger companies. In addition, small\nand mid-cap stocks may not be widely followed by the investment community, which may result in low demand.

Large\nCapitalization Companies. The return on investment in stocks of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment\nin stocks of small and/or mid capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies may also grow at a slower rate than the overall\nmarket.

Cybersecurity\nRisk. As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Trusts have become more susceptible\nto potential operational, information security and related risks through breaches in cybersecurity. A breach in cybersecurity refers to\nboth intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Trusts to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational\ncapacity, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on the Trusts or their Unit holders. Such events could cause the Sponsor\nof the Trusts to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or\nfinancial loss. Cybersecurity breaches may involve unauthorized access to digital information systems utilized by the Trusts through “hacking”\nor malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of service attacks through efforts to make network\nservices unavailable to intended users. Emerging threats like ransomware or zero-day exploits could also cause disruptions to Trust operations.\nIn addition, cybersecurity breaches of the Trusts’ third-party service providers, or issuers in which the Trusts invest, can also\nsubject the Trusts to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches. Further, errors, misconduct, or compromise\nof accounts of employees of the Sponsor, Portfolio Supervisor or the Trusts’ third-party service providers can also create material\ncybersecurity risks. The Sponsor of, and third-party service provider to, the Trusts have established risk management systems designed\nto reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the\nTrusts do not directly control the cybersecurity systems of issuers or third-party service providers. Cybersecurity incidents may also\ntrigger Trust obligations under data privacy laws, potentially increasing notification and compliance burdens. Cybersecurity incidents\naffecting issuers in whose securities the Trusts invest may also have a negative impact on the value of the securities of such issuers,\nand in turn, the value of the Trusts.

Operational\nRisk. The Trusts are subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing\nand communication errors, errors of the Trusts’ service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes\nand technology or systems failures. These errors or failures may adversely affect a Trust’s operations, including its ability to\nexecute its investment process, calculate or disseminate its NAV in a timely manner, and process purchases or redemptions. The Trusts\nrely on third-parties for a range of services. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect\na Trust’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Trusts seek to reduce these operational risks through controls\nand procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

Legislation/Litigation.\nFrom time to time, various legislative initiatives are proposed in the United States and abroad which may have a negative impact on certain\nof the companies represented in the Trusts. In addition, litigation regarding any of the issuers of the Securities, or the industries\nrepresented by these issuers, may negatively impact the value of these Securities. We cannot predict what impact any pending or proposed\nlegislation or pending or threatened litigation will have on the value of the Securities.

Backtested Hypothetical Performance Information

The\nfollowing table compares the hypothetical performance information for the identical strategies employed by each Trust and the actual performance\nof the S&P 500^® Index in each of the full years listed below (and as of the most recent month). The Trusts did not\nachieve the performance shown.

These hypothetical returns should not be\nused to predict or guarantee future performance of the Trusts. Returns from a Trust will differ from its strategy for several reasons,\nincluding the following:

•

Total Return figures shown do not reflect commissions paid by a Trust on the purchase of Securities or taxes incurred by you.

•

Strategy returns are for calendar years (and through the most recent month), while the Trusts begin and end on various dates.

•

Trusts have a maturity longer than one year.

•

Trusts may not be fully invested at all times or equally-weighted in each of the strategies or the stocks comprising their respective\nstrategy or strategies.

•

Extraordinary market events that are not expected to be repeated and which may have affected performance.

•

Securities are often purchased or sold at prices different from the closing prices used in buying and selling Units.

•

Cash flows (receipt/investment of).

•

Currency exchange rates may differ.

You should note that the Trusts are not designed\nto parallel movements in any index and it is not expected that they will do so. In fact, each Trust’s strategy underperformed its\ncomparative index in certain years and we cannot guarantee that a Trust will outperform its respective index over the life of a Trust\nor over consecutive rollover periods, if available. Each index differs widely in size and focus, as described below.

S&P 500^® Index.\nThe S&P 500^® Index consists of stocks of 500 issuers chosen by Standard and Poor’s to be representative of the\nleaders of various industries.

The index is unmanaged, not subject to fees\nand not available for direct investment.

NOTES\nTO COMPARISON OF HYPOTHETICAL TOTAL RETURN

(1)

The Strategy stocks for each Strategy for a given year consist of the common stocks selected by applying the respective Strategy as\nof the beginning of the period (and not the date the Trusts actually sell Units).

(2)

Hypothetical Total Return represents the sum of the change in market value of each group of stocks between the first and last trading\nday of a period plus the total dividends paid on each group of stocks during such period divided by the opening market value of each group\nof stocks as of the first trading day of a period. Hypothetical Total Return figures assume that all dividends are reinvested monthly\nfor the hypothetical Strategy returns and monthly in the case of Index returns and all returns are stated in terms of U.S. dollars. Hypothetical\nStrategy figures reflect the deduction of sales charges and expenses as listed in the “Fee Table,” but have not been reduced\nby estimated brokerage commissions paid by Trusts in acquiring Securities or any taxes incurred by investors. If a security which is selected\nby a Strategy is merged out of existence, delisted or suffers a similar fate during the period in which the hypothetical Strategy performance\nis being measured, such security will not be replaced by another security during that period and the return of such security will not\nbe annualized in the calculation of the hypothetical returns. Based on the year-by-year hypothetical returns contained in the above table,\nover the full years listed above, the following table shows the average total return of each hypothetical Strategy compared to its corresponding\nindex.

Simulated returns are hypothetical, meaning\nthat they do not represent actual trading, and, thus, may not reflect material -economic and market factors, such as liquidity constraints,\nthat may have had an impact on actual decision making. The -hypothetical performance is the retroactive application of the Strategy designed\nwith the full benefit of hindsight.

Public Offering

The Public Offering Price.

Units will be purchased at the Public Offering\nPrice, the price per Unit of which is comprised of the following:

•

The aggregate underlying value of the Securities;

•

The amount of any cash in the Income and Capital Accounts;

•

Dividends receivable on Securities; and

•

The maximum sales charge (which combines an initial upfront sales charge, a deferred sales charge and the creation and development\nfee).

The price you pay for your Units will differ\nfrom the amount stated under “Summary of Essential Information” due to various factors, including fluctuations in the prices\nof the Securities and changes in the value of the Income and/or Capital Accounts.

Although you are not required to pay for\nyour Units until one business day following your order (the “date of settlement”), you may pay before then. You will become\nthe owner of Units (“Record Owner”) on the date of settlement if payment has been received. If you pay for your Units before\nthe date of settlement, we may use your payment during this time and it may be considered a benefit to us, subject to the limitations\nof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Organization Costs. Securities purchased\nwith the portion of the Public Offering Price intended to be used to reimburse the Sponsor for a Trust’s organization costs (including\ncosts of preparing the registration statement, the Indenture and other closing documents, registering Units with the SEC and states, licensing\nfees required for the establishment of the Trusts under licensing agreements which provide for full payment of the licensing fees not\nlater than the conclusion of the organization expense period, the initial audit of each Trust’s statement of net assets, legal fees\nand the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee) will be purchased in the same proportionate relationship as all the Securities contained\nin a Trust. Securities will be sold to reimburse the Sponsor for a Trust’s organization costs at the end of the initial offering\nperiod (a significantly shorter time period than the life of a Trust). During the initial offering period, there may be a decrease in\nthe value of the Securities. To the extent the proceeds from the sale of these Securities are insufficient to repay the Sponsor for Trust\norganization costs, the Trustee will sell additional Securities to allow a Trust to fully reimburse the Sponsor. In that event, the net\nasset value per Unit of a Trust will be reduced by the amount of additional Securities sold. Although the dollar amount of the reimbursement\ndue to the Sponsor will remain fixed and will never exceed the per Unit amount set forth for a Trust in “Notes to Statements of\nNet Assets,” this will result in a greater effective cost per Unit to Unit holders for the reimbursement to the Sponsor. To the\nextent actual organization costs are less than the estimated amount, only the actual organization costs will ultimately be charged to\na Trust. When Securities are sold to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, the Trustee will sell Securities, to the extent practicable,\nwhich will maintain the same proportionate relationship among the Securities contained in a Trust as existed prior to such sale.

Minimum Purchase.

The minimum amount per account you can purchase\nof a Trust is generally $1,000 worth of Units ($500 if you are purchasing Units for your Individual Retirement Account or any other qualified\nretirement plan), but such amounts may vary depending on your selling firm.

Maximum Sales Charge.

The maximum sales charge of 1.85% per Unit\nis comprised of a transactional sales charge and a creation and development fee. After the initial offering period the maximum sales charge\nwill be reduced by 0.50%, to reflect the amount of the previously charged creation and development fee.

Transactional Sales Charge.

The transactional sales charge you will pay\nhas both an initial and a deferred component.

Initial Sales Charge. The initial\nsales charge, which you will pay at the time of purchase, is equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 1.85% of the\nPublic Offering Price and the sum of the maximum remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee (initially $.185 per\nUnit). On the Initial Date of Deposit, and any other day the Public Offering Price per Unit equals\n$10.00, there is no initial sales charge. Thereafter, you will pay an initial sales charge when the Public Offering Price per Unit exceeds\n$10.00 and as deferred sales charge and creation and development fee payments are made.

Monthly Deferred Sales Charge. In\naddition, three monthly deferred sales charges of $.045 per Unit will be deducted from a Trust’s assets on approximately the twentieth\nday of each month from January 20, 2027 through March 19, 2027. If you buy Units at a price of less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount\nof the deferred sales charge will not change, but the deferred sales charge on a percentage basis will be more than 1.35% of the Public\nOffering Price.

Creation and Development Fee.

As Sponsor, we will also receive, and the\nUnit holders will pay, a creation and development fee. See “Expenses and Charges” for a description of the services provided\nfor this fee. The creation and development fee is a charge of $.050 per Unit collected at the end of the initial offering period. If you\nbuy Units at a price of less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount of the creation and development fee will not change, but the creation\nand development fee on a percentage basis will be more than 0.50% of the Public Offering Price.

Discounts for Certain Persons.

The maximum sales charge is 1.85% per Unit\nand the maximum dealer concession is 1.25% per Unit.

If you are purchasing Units for an investment\naccount, the terms of which provide that your registered investment advisor or registered broker/dealer (a) charges periodic fees\nin lieu of commissions; (b) charges for financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services; or (c) charges\na comprehensive “wrap fee” or similar fee for these or comparable services (“Fee Accounts”), you will not be assessed\nthe transactional sales charge described above on such purchases. These Units will be designated as Fee Account Units and, depending upon\nthe purchase instructions we receive, assigned either a Fee Account Cash CUSIP Number, if you elect to have distributions paid to you,\nor a Fee Account Reinvestment CUSIP Number, if you elect to have distributions reinvested into additional Units of a Trust. Certain Fee\nAccount Unit holders may be assessed transaction or other account fees on the purchase and/or redemption of such Units by their registered\ninvestment advisor, broker/dealer or other processing organizations for providing certain transaction or account activities. Fee Account\nUnits are not available for purchase in the secondary market. We reserve the right to limit or deny purchases of Units not subject to\nthe transactional sales charge by investors whose frequent trading activity we determine to be detrimental to the Trusts.

Employees, officers and directors (and immediate\nfamily members) of the Sponsor, our related companies, and dealers and their affiliates will purchase Units at the Public Offering Price\nless the applicable dealer concession, subject to the policies of the related selling firm. Immediate family members include spouses,\nor the equivalent if recognized under local law, children or step-children under the age of 21 living in the same household, parents or\nstep-parents and trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for the benefit of such persons. Only employees, officers and directors of companies\nthat allow their employees to participate in this employee discount program are eligible for the discounts.

You\nwill be charged the deferred sales charge per Unit regardless of the price you pay for your Units or whether you are eligible to receive\nany discounts. However, if the purchase price of your Units was less than $10.00 per Unit or if you are eligible to receive a discount\nsuch that the maximum sales charge you must pay is less than the applicable maximum deferred sales charge, including Fee Account Units,\nyou will be credited additional Units with a dollar value equal to the difference between your maximum sales charge and the maximum deferred\nsales charge at the time you buy your Units. If you elect to have distributions reinvested into additional Units of a Trust, in addition\nto the reinvestment Units you receive you will also be credited additional Units with a dollar value at the time of reinvestment sufficient\nto cover the amount of any remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee to be collected on such reinvestment Units.\nThe dollar value of these additional credited Units (as with all Units) will fluctuate over time, and may be less on the dates deferred\nsales charges or the creation and development fee are collected than their value at the time they were issued.

The Value of the Securities.

The Sponsor will determine the aggregate\nunderlying value of the Securities in a Trust as of the Evaluation Time on each business day and will adjust the Public Offering Price\nof the Units according to this valuation. This Public Offering Price will be effective for all orders received before the Evaluation Time\non each such day. If we or the Trustee receive orders for purchases, sales or redemptions after that time, or on a day which is not a\nbusiness day, they will be held until the next determination of price. The term “business day” as used in this prospectus\nshall mean any day on which the NYSE is open. For purposes of Securities and Unit settlement, the term business day does not include days\non which U.S. financial institutions are closed.

The aggregate underlying value of the Securities\nin the Trusts will be determined as follows: if the Securities are listed on a national or foreign securities exchange or Nasdaq, Inc.,\ntheir value shall generally be based on the closing sale price on the exchange or system which is the principal market therefore (“Primary\nExchange”), which shall be deemed to be the NYSE if the Securities are listed thereon (unless the Sponsor deems such price inappropriate\nas the basis for evaluation). In the event a closing sale price on the Primary Exchange is not published, the Securities will be valued\nbased on the last trade price on the Primary Exchange. If no trades occur on the Primary Exchange for a specific trade date, the value\nwill be based on the closing sale price from, in the opinion of the Sponsor, an appropriate secondary exchange, if any. If no trades occur\non the Primary Exchange or any appropriate secondary exchange on a specific trade date, the Sponsor will determine the value of the Securities\nusing the best information available to the Sponsor, which may include the prior day’s evaluated price. If the Security is an American\nDepositary Receipt/ADR, Global Depositary Receipt/GDR or other similar security in which no trade occurs on the Primary Exchange or any\nappropriate secondary exchange on a specific trade date, the value will be based on the evaluated price of the underlying security, determined\nas set forth above, after applying the appropriate ADR/GDR ratio, the exchange rate and such other information which the Sponsor deems\nappropriate. For purposes of valuing Securities traded on Nasdaq, Inc., closing sale price shall mean the Nasdaq^® Official\nClosing Price as determined by Nasdaq, Inc. If the Securities are not so listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefore is\nother than on the Primary Exchange or any appropriate secondary exchange, the value shall generally be based on the current ask price\non the over-the-counter market (unless the Sponsor deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If current ask prices are\nunavailable, the value is generally determined (a) on the basis of current ask prices for comparable securities, (b) by appraising\nthe value of the Securities on the ask side of the market, or (c) any combination of the above. If such prices are in a currency\nother than U.S. dollars, the value of such Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars based on current exchange rates (unless the Sponsor\ndeems such prices inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If the Sponsor deems a price determined as set forth above to be inappropriate\nas the basis for evaluation, the Sponsor shall use such other information available to the Sponsor which it deems appropriate as the basis\nfor determining the value of a Security.

After the initial offering period is over,\nthe aggregate underlying value of the Securities will be determined as set forth above, except that bid prices are used instead of ask\nprices when necessary.

\n \n \n

Distribution of Units

We intend to qualify Units of the Trusts\nfor sale in a number of states. All Units will be sold at the then current Public Offering Price.

The Sponsor compensates intermediaries, such\nas broker/dealers and banks, for their activities that are intended to result in sales of Units of the Trusts. This compensation includes\ndealer concessions described in the following section and may include additional concessions and other compensation and benefits to broker/dealers\nand other intermediaries.

Dealer Concessions.

Dealers and other selling agents can purchase\nUnits at prices which reflect a concession or agency commission of 1.25% of the Public Offering Price per Unit, subject to reductions\nset forth in “Public Offering—Discounts for Certain Persons.”

Eligible dealer firms and other selling\nagents who, during the previous consecutive 12-month period through the end of the most recent month, sold primary market units of unit\ninvestment trusts sponsored by us in the dollar amounts shown below will be entitled to up to the following additional sales concession\non primary market sales of units during the current month of unit investment trusts sponsored by us:

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Total sales\t (in millions) \t \t\t	Additional \nConcession
$25 but less than $100\t		0.035	%
$100 but less than $150\t		0.050	%
$150 but less than $250\t		0.075	%
$250 but less than $1,000\t		0.100	%
$1,000 but less than $5,000\t		0.125	%
$5,000 but less than $7,500\t		0.150	%
$7,500 or more\t		0.175	%

Dealers and other selling agents will not\nreceive a concession on the sale of Units which are not subject to a transactional sales charge, but such Units will be included in determining\nwhether the above volume sales levels are met. Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents include clearing firms that place orders\nwith First Trust and provide First Trust with information with respect to the representatives who initiated such transactions. Eligible\ndealer firms and other selling agents will not include firms that solely provide clearing services to other broker/dealer firms or firms\nwho place orders through clearing firms that are eligible dealers. We reserve the right to change the amount of concessions or agency\ncommissions from time to time. Certain commercial banks may be making Units of the Trusts available to their customers on an agency basis.\nA portion of the transactional sales charge paid by these customers is kept by or given to the banks in the amounts shown above.

Other Compensation and Benefits to Broker/Dealers.

The Sponsor, at its own expense and out of\nits own profits, currently provides additional compensation and benefits to broker/dealers who sell Units of these Trusts and other First\nTrust products. This compensation is intended to result in additional sales of First Trust products and/or compensate broker/dealers and\nfinancial advisors for past sales. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors\nmay include, but are not limited to, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of sales\nof First Trust products by the intermediary or its agents, the placing of First Trust products on a preferred or recommended product list,\naccess to an intermediary’s personnel, and other factors. The Sponsor makes these payments for marketing, promotional or related\nexpenses, including, but not limited to, expenses of entertaining retail customers and financial advisers, advertising, sponsorship of\nevents or seminars, obtaining information about the breakdown of unit sales among an intermediary’s representatives or offices,\nobtaining shelf space in broker/dealer firms and similar activities designed to promote the sale of the Sponsor’s products. The\nSponsor makes such payments to a substantial majority of intermediaries that sell First Trust products. The Sponsor may also make certain\npayments to, or on behalf of, intermediaries to defray a portion of their costs incurred for the purpose of facilitating Unit sales, such\nas the costs of developing or purchasing trading systems to process Unit trades. Payments of such additional compensation described in\nthis and the preceding paragraph, some of which may be characterized as “revenue sharing,” create a conflict of interest by\ninfluencing financial intermediaries and their agents to sell or recommend a First Trust product, including the Trusts, over products\noffered by other sponsors or fund companies. These arrangements will not change the price you pay for your Units.

Advertising and Investment Comparisons.

Advertising materials regarding a Trust may\ndiscuss several topics, including: developing a long-term financial plan; working with your financial professional; the nature and risks\nof various investment strategies and unit investment trusts that could help you reach your financial goals; the importance of discipline;\nhow a Trust operates; how securities are selected; various unit investment trust features such as convenience and costs; and options available\nfor certain types of unit investment trusts. These materials may include descriptions of the principal businesses of the companies represented\nin each Trust, research analysis of why they were selected and information relating to the qualifications of the persons or entities providing\nthe research analysis. In addition, they may include research opinions on the economy and industry sectors included and a list of investment\nproducts generally appropriate for pursuing those recommendations.

From time to time we may compare the estimated\nreturns of a Trust (which may show performance net of the expenses and charges a Trust would have incurred) and returns over specified\nperiods of other similar trusts we sponsor in our advertising and sales materials, with (1) returns on other taxable investments\nsuch as the common stocks comprising various market indexes, corporate or U.S. Government bonds, bank CDs and money market accounts or\nfunds, (2) performance data from Morningstar, Inc. or (3) information from publications such as Money, The New York\nTimes, U.S. News and World Report, Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes or Fortune. The investment characteristics\nof each Trust differ from other comparative investments. You should not assume that these performance comparisons will be representative\nof a Trust’s future performance. We may also, from time to time, use advertising which classifies trusts or portfolio securities\naccording to capitalization and/or investment style.

\n \n \n

The Sponsor’s Profits

We will receive a gross sales commission\nequal to the maximum transactional sales charge per Unit less any reduction as stated in “Public Offering.” We will also receive\nthe amount of any collected creation and development fee. Also, any difference between our cost to purchase the Securities and the price\nat which we sell them to a Trust is considered a profit or loss (see Note 2 of “Notes to Schedules of Investments”). During\nthe initial offering period, dealers and others may also realize profits or sustain losses as a result of fluctuations in the Public Offering\nPrice they receive when they sell the Units.

In maintaining a market for the Units, any\ndifference between the price at which we purchase Units and the price at which we sell or redeem them will be a profit or loss to us.

\n \n \n

The Secondary Market

Although not obligated, we may maintain a\nmarket for the Units after the initial offering period and continuously offer to purchase Units at prices based on the Redemption Price\nper Unit.

We will pay all expenses to maintain a secondary\nmarket, except fees to value Trust Securities and Trustee costs to transfer and record the ownership of Units. We may discontinue purchases\nof Units at any time. If you wish to dispose of your Units, you should ask us for the current market prices before making a tender\nfor redemption to the Trustee. If you sell or redeem your Units before you have paid the total deferred sales charge on your Units,\nyou will have to pay the remainder at that time.

\n \n \n

How We Purchase Units

The Trustee will notify us of any tender\nof Units for redemption. If our bid at that time is equal to or greater than the Redemption Price per Unit, we may purchase the Units.\nYou will receive your proceeds from the sale no later than if they were redeemed by the Trustee. We may tender Units we hold to the Trustee\nfor redemption as any other Units. If we elect not to purchase Units, the Trustee may sell tendered Units in the over-the-counter market,\nif any. However, the amount you will receive is the same as you would have received on redemption of the Units.

\n \n \n

Expenses and Charges

The estimated annual expenses of each Trust\nare listed under “Fee Table.” If actual expenses of a Trust exceed the estimate, that Trust will bear the excess. The Trustee\nwill pay operating expenses of the Trusts from the Income Account of such Trust if funds are available, and then from the Capital Account.\nThe Income and Capital Accounts are non-interest-bearing to Unit holders, so the Trustee may earn interest on these funds, thus benefiting\nfrom their use.

First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of\nours, acts as Portfolio Supervisor and will be compensated for providing portfolio supervisory services as well as bookkeeping and other\nadministrative services to the Trusts. In providing portfolio supervisory services, the Portfolio Supervisor may purchase research services\nfrom a number of sources, which may include underwriters or dealers of the Trusts. As Sponsor, we will be compensated for providing evaluation\nservices and we will receive brokerage fees when the Trusts use us (or an affiliate of ours) as agent in buying or selling Securities.\nAs authorized by the Indenture, the Trustee may employ a subsidiary or affiliate of the Trustee to act as broker to execute certain transactions\nfor a Trust. A Trust will pay for such services at standard commission rates.

The fees payable to the Sponsor, First Trust\nAdvisors L.P. and the Trustee are based on the largest aggregate number of Units of a Trust outstanding at any time during the calendar\nyear, except during the initial offering period, in which case these fees are calculated based on the largest number of Units outstanding\nduring the period for which compensation is paid. These fees may be adjusted for inflation without Unit holders’ approval, but in\nno case will the annual fees paid to us or our affiliates for providing services to all unit investment trusts be more than the actual\ncost of providing such services in such year.

As Sponsor, we will receive a fee from each\nTrust for creating and developing the Trusts, including determining each Trust’s objectives, policies, composition and size, selecting\nservice providers and information services and for providing other similar administrative and ministerial functions. The “creation\nand development fee” is a charge of $.050 per Unit outstanding at the end of the initial offering period. The Trustee will deduct\nthis amount from a Trust’s assets as of the close of the initial offering period. We do not use this fee to pay distribution expenses\nor as compensation for sales efforts. This fee will not be deducted from your proceeds if you sell or redeem your Units before the end\nof the initial offering period.

In addition to a Trust’s operating\nexpenses and those fees described above, the Trusts may also incur the following charges:

•

All legal expenses of the Trustee according to its responsibilities under the Indenture;

•

The expenses and costs incurred by the Trustee to protect the Trusts and your rights and interests\n(i.e., participating in litigation concerning a portfolio security) and the costs of indemnifying the Trustee;

•

Fees for any extraordinary services the Trustee performed under the Indenture;

•

Payment for any loss, liability or expense the Trustee incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, in\nconnection with its acceptance or administration of a Trust;

•

Payment for any loss, liability or expenses we incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in acting as Sponsor of\na Trust;

•

Foreign custodial and transaction fees (which may include compensation paid to the Trustee or its subsidiaries or affiliates), if\nany; and/or

•

All taxes and other government charges imposed upon the Securities or any part of a Trust.

The above expenses and the Trustee’s\nannual fee are secured by a lien on the Trusts. In addition, if there is not enough cash in the Income or Capital Account of a Trust,\nthe Trustee has the power to sell Securities from such Trust to make cash available to pay these charges which may result in capital gains\nor losses to you. See “Tax Status.”

Tax Status

Federal Tax Matters.

This section discusses some of the main\nU.S. federal income tax consequences of owning Units of a Trust as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change\nfrequently, and this summary does not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, this summary generally does\nnot describe your situation if you are a broker/dealer or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section may not\ndescribe your state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

This federal income tax summary is based\nin part on the advice of counsel to the Sponsor. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could disagree with any conclusions\nset forth in this section. In addition, our counsel may not have been asked to review, and may not have reached a conclusion with respect\nto the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be deposited in the Trusts. This summary may not be sufficient for you to use for\nthe purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law.

As with any investment, you should seek\nadvice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax advisor.

Trust Status.

Unit investment trusts maintain both Income\nand Capital Accounts, regardless of tax structure. Please refer to the “Income and Capital Distributions” section of the prospectus\nfor more information.

Each Trust intends to qualify as a “regulated\ninvestment company,” commonly known as a “RIC,” under the federal tax laws. If a Trust qualifies as a RIC and distributes\nits income as required by the tax law, such Trust generally will not pay federal income taxes. For federal income tax purposes, you are\ntreated as the owner of the Trust Units and not of the assets held by a Trust.

Income from the Trusts.

Trust distributions are generally taxable.\nAfter the end of each year, you will receive a tax statement that separates a Trust’s distributions into ordinary income dividends,\ncapital gain dividends and return of capital. Income reported is generally net of expenses (but see “Treatment of Trust Expenses”\nbelow). Ordinary income dividends are generally taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, however, certain dividends received from a Trust\nmay be taxed at the capital gains tax rates. Generally, all capital gain dividends are treated as long-term capital gains regardless of\nhow long you have owned your Units. In addition, a Trust may make distributions that represent a return of capital for tax purposes and\nwill generally not be currently taxable to you, although they generally reduce your tax basis in your Units and thus increase your taxable\ngain or decrease your loss when you dispose of your Units. The tax laws may require you to treat distributions made to you in January\nas if you had received them on December 31 of the previous year.

Some distributions from a Trust may qualify\nas long-term capital gains, which, if you are an individual, is generally taxed at a lower rate than your ordinary income and short-term\ncapital gain income. The distributions from a Trust that you must take into account for federal income tax purposes are not reduced by\nthe amount used to pay a deferred sales charge, if any. Distributions from a Trust, including capital gains, may also be subject to a\n“Medicare tax” if your adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Certain Stock Dividends.

Ordinary income dividends received by an\nindividual Unit holder from a RIC such as the Trusts are generally taxed at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains, provided\ncertain holding period requirements are satisfied and provided the dividends are attributable to qualifying dividend income (“QDI”)\nreceived by a Trust itself. Dividends that do not meet these requirements will generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. After\nthe end of the tax year, each Trust will provide a tax statement to its Unit holders reporting the amount of any distribution which may\nbe taken into account as a dividend which is eligible for the capital gains tax rates.

Unit holders that are corporations may\nbe eligible for the dividends received deduction with respect to certain ordinary income dividends on Units that are attributable to qualifying\ndividends received by a Trust from certain corporations.

Sale of Units.

If you sell your Units (whether to a third\nparty or to a Trust), you will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract\nyour (adjusted) tax basis in your Units from the amount you receive from the sale. Your original tax basis in your Units is generally\nequal to the cost of your Units, including sales charges. In some cases, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you purchase\nyour Units, in which case your gain would be calculated using your adjusted basis.

The tax statement you receive in regard\nto the sale or redemption of your Units may contain information about your basis in the Units and whether any gain or loss recognized\nby you should be considered long-term or short-term capital gain. The information reported to you is based upon rules that do not take\ninto consideration all of the facts that may be known to you or to your advisors. You should consult with your tax advisor about any adjustments\nthat may need to be made to the information reported to you in determining the amount of your gain or loss.

Distribution Reinvestment Option.

If you elect to reinvest your distributions\ninto additional Units, you will be treated as if you have received your distribution in an amount equal to the distribution you are\nentitled to. Your tax liability will be the same as if you received the distribution in cash. Also, the reinvestment would generally be\nconsidered a purchase of new Units for federal income tax purposes.

Treatment of Trust Expenses.

Expenses incurred and deducted by a Trust\nwill generally not be treated as income taxable to you. In some cases, however, you may be required to treat your portion of these Trust\nexpenses as income. You may not be able to take a deduction for some or all of these expenses even if the cash you receive is reduced\nby such expenses.

Investments in Certain Non-U.S. Corporations.

A foreign corporation will generally be\ntreated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) if 75% or more of its income is passive income or if 50% or more\nof its assets are held to produce passive income. If a Trust holds an equity interest in PFICs, such Trust could be subject to U.S. federal\nincome tax and additional interest charges on gains and certain distributions from the PFICs, even if all the income or gain is distributed\nin a timely fashion to such Trust Unit holders. A Trust will not be able to pass through to its Unit holders any credit or deduction for\nsuch taxes if the taxes are imposed at the Trust level. A Trust may be able to make an election that could limit the tax imposed on such\nTrust. In this case, a Trust would recognize as ordinary income any increase in the value of such PFIC shares, and as ordinary loss any\ndecrease in such value to the extent it did not exceed prior increases included in income.

Under this election, a Trust might be required\nto recognize income in excess of its distributions from the PFICs and its proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year, and\nsuch income would nevertheless be subject to the distribution requirement and would be taken into account for purposes of determining\nthe application of the 4% excise tax imposed on RICs that do not meet certain distribution thresholds. Dividends paid by PFICs are not\ntreated as QDI to shareholders of the PFICs.

Non-U.S. Investors.

If you are a non-U.S. investor, distributions\nfrom a Trust treated as dividends will generally be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% of the distribution. Certain dividends, such\nas capital gains dividends and short-term capital gains dividends, may not be subject to U.S. withholding taxes. In addition, some non-U.S.\ninvestors may be eligible for a reduction or elimination of U.S. withholding taxes under a treaty. However, the qualification for those\nexclusions may not be known at the time of the distribution and some excluded income may be taken into consideration for alternative minimum\ntax purposes.

Separately, the United States, pursuant\nto the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) imposes a 30% tax on certain non-U.S. entities that receive U.S. source\ninterest or dividends if the non-U.S. entity does not comply with certain U.S. disclosure and reporting requirements. This FATCA tax also\ncurrently applies to the gross proceeds from the disposition of securities that produce U.S. source interest or dividends. However, proposed\nregulations may eliminate the requirement to withhold on payments of gross proceeds from dispositions.

It is the responsibility of the entity\nthrough which you hold your Units to determine the applicable withholding.

Foreign Tax Credit.

If a Trust directly or indirectly invests\nin non-U.S. stocks, the tax statement that you receive may include an item showing foreign taxes such Trust paid to other countries. You\nmay be able to deduct or receive a tax credit for your share of these taxes. A Trust would have to meet certain IRS requirements in order\nto pass through credits to you.

In-Kind Distributions.

If permitted by this prospectus, as described\nin “Redeeming Your Units,” you may request an In-Kind Distribution of a Trust’s assets when you redeem your Units. This\ndistribution is subject to tax, and you will generally recognize gain or loss, generally based on the value at that time of the securities\nand the amount of cash received.

Rollovers.

If you elect to have your proceeds from\nyour Trust rolled over into a future series of the Trust, the exchange would generally be considered a sale for federal income tax purposes.

You should consult your tax advisor regarding\npotential foreign, state or local taxation with respect to your Units.

\n \n \n

Retirement Plans

You may purchase Units of the Trusts for:

•

Individual Retirement Accounts;

•

Keogh Plans;

•

Pension funds; and

•

Other tax-deferred retirement plans.

Generally, the federal income tax on capital\ngains and income received in each of the above plans is deferred until you receive distributions. These distributions are generally treated\nas ordinary income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special averaging or tax-deferred rollover treatment. Before participating\nin a plan like this, you should review the tax laws regarding these plans and consult your attorney or tax advisor. Brokerage firms and\nother financial institutions offer these plans with varying fees and charges.

\n \n \n

Rights of Unit Holders

Unit Ownership.

Ownership of Units will not be evidenced\nby certificates. If you purchase or hold Units through a broker/dealer or bank, your ownership of Units will be recorded in book-entry\nform at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and credited on its records to your broker/dealer’s or bank’s DTC\naccount. Transfer of Units will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and its participants if the Units are registered to DTC or\nits nominee, Cede & Co. DTC will forward all notices and credit all payments received in respect of the Units held by the DTC participants.\nYou will receive written confirmation of your purchases and sales of Units from the broker/dealer or bank through which you made the transaction.\nYou may transfer your Units by contacting the broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units.

Unit Holder Reports.

The Trustee will prepare a statement detailing\nthe per Unit amounts (if any) distributed from the Income Account and Capital Account in connection with each distribution. In addition,\nat the end of each calendar year, the Trustee will prepare a statement which contains the following information:

•

A summary of transactions in the Trusts for the year;

•

A list of any Securities sold during the year and the Securities held at the end of that year by the Trusts;

•

The Redemption Price per Unit, computed on the 31st day of December of such year (or the last business day before); and

•

Amounts of income and capital distributed during the year.

By February 15th yearly, the Annual Reports\nare posted to the Sponsor’s website (www.ftportfolios.com) in the UIT Tax Center and retrievable by CUSIP. You may also request\none be sent to you by calling the Sponsor at 800–621–1675, dept. code 2. In addition, you may also request from the Trustee\ncopies of the evaluations of the Securities as prepared by the Sponsor to enable you to comply with applicable federal and state tax reporting\nrequirements.

\n \n \n

Income and Capital Distributions

You will be eligible to receive distributions,\nif any, on your Units only after you become a Record Owner. The Trustee will credit dividends received on a Trust’s Securities\nto the Income Account of such Trust. All other receipts, such as return of capital or capital gain dividends, are credited to the Capital\nAccount of such Trust. Dividends received on foreign Securities, if any, are converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate.

The Trustee will make distributions from\nthe Income Account on or near the Income Account Distribution Dates to Unit holders of record on the preceding Income Account Distribution\nRecord Date provided the amount equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. No Income Account distribution will be paid if accrued expenses of\na Trust exceed amounts in the Income Account on the Distribution Dates. Distribution amounts will vary with changes in a Trust’s\nfees and expenses, in dividends received and with the sale of Securities. The Trustee will distribute amounts in the Capital Account,\nnet of amounts designated to meet redemptions, pay the deferred sales charge and creation and development fee or pay expenses on the twenty-fifth\nday of each month to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of each month provided the amount equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. In\nany case, the Trustee may distribute funds in the Capital Account in December of each year to avoid imposition of any income or excise\ntaxes on undistributed income in a Trust and will distribute funds as part of the final liquidation distribution.

If an Income or Capital Account distribution\ndate is a day on which the NYSE is closed, the distribution will be made on the next day the stock exchange is open. Distributions are\npaid to Unit holders of record determined as of the close of business on the Record Date for that distribution or, if the Record Date\nis a day on which the NYSE is closed, the first preceding day on which the exchange is open.

We anticipate that there will be enough money\nin the Capital Account of a Trust to pay the deferred sales charge to the Sponsor. If not, the Trustee may sell Securities to meet the\nshortfall.

Within a reasonable time after a Trust is\nterminated, unless you are a Rollover Unit holder, you will receive the pro rata share of the money from the sale of the Securities and\namounts in the Income and Capital Accounts. All Unit holders will receive a pro rata share of any other assets remaining in their Trust,\nafter deducting any unpaid expenses.

The Trustee may establish reserves (the “Reserve\nAccount”) within a Trust to cover anticipated state and local taxes or any governmental charges to be paid out of that Trust.

Distribution Reinvestment Option.\nYou may elect to have each distribution of income and/or capital reinvested into additional Units of your Trust by notifying your broker/dealer\nor bank within the time period required by such entities so that they can notify the Trustee of your election at least 10 days before\nany Record Date. Each later distribution of income and/or capital on your Units will be reinvested by the Trustee into additional Units\nof such Trust. There is no sales charge on Units acquired through the Distribution Reinvestment Option, as discussed under “Public\nOffering.” This option may not be available in all states. Each reinvestment plan is subject to availability or limitation by the\nSponsor and each broker/dealer or selling firm. The Sponsor or broker/dealers may suspend or terminate the offering of a reinvestment\nplan at any time. Because a Trust may begin selling Securities nine business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date, reinvestment\nis not available during this period. Please contact your financial professional for additional information. Please note that even if\nyou reinvest distributions, they are still considered distributions for income tax purposes.

\n \n \n

Redeeming Your Units

You may redeem all or a portion of your Units\nat any time by sending a request for redemption to your broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units. No redemption fee will\nbe charged, but you are responsible for any governmental charges that apply. Certain broker/dealers may charge a transaction fee for processing\nredemption requests. One business day after the day you tender your Units (the “Date of Tender”) you will receive cash in\nan amount for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit calculated at the Evaluation Time on the Date of Tender.

The Date of Tender is considered to be the\ndate on which your redemption request is received by the Trustee from the broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units (if\nsuch day is a day the NYSE is open for trading). However, if the redemption request is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or after\nany earlier closing time on a day on which the NYSE is scheduled in advance to close at such earlier time), the Date of Tender is the\nnext day the NYSE is open for trading.

Any amounts paid on redemption representing\nincome will be withdrawn from the Income Account if funds are available for that purpose, or from the Capital Account. All other amounts\npaid on redemption will be taken from the Capital Account.

If you tender for redemption at least 2,500\nUnits of Target Dividend Double Play Portfolio or 2,500 Units of Target Dividend Triple Play Portfolio, or such larger amount as required\nby your broker/dealer or bank, rather than receiving cash, you may elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution in an amount equal to the\nRedemption Price per Unit by making this request to your broker/dealer or bank at the time of tender. However, to be eligible to participate\nin the In-Kind Distribution option at redemption, Unit holders must hold their Units through the end of the initial offering period. No\nIn-Kind Distribution requests submitted during the 10 business days prior to a Trust’s Mandatory Termination Date will be honored.\nWhere possible, the Trustee will make an In-Kind Distribution by distributing each of the Securities in book-entry form to your bank’s\nor broker/dealer’s account at DTC. The Trustee will subtract any customary transfer and registration charges from your In-Kind Distribution.\nAs a tendering Unit holder, you will receive your pro rata number of whole shares of Securities that make up the portfolio, and cash from\nthe Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which you are entitled.

If you elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution\nof Securities, you should be aware that it will be considered a taxable event at the time you receive the Securities. See “Tax Status”\nfor additional information.

The Trustee may sell Securities to make funds\navailable for redemption. If Securities are sold, the size and diversification of a Trust will be reduced. These sales may result in lower\nprices than if the Securities were sold at a different time.

Your right to redeem Units (and therefore,\nyour right to receive payment) may be delayed:

•

If the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

•

If the SEC determines that trading on the NYSE is restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the Securities\nnot reasonably practical; or

•

For any other period permitted by SEC order.

The Trustee is not liable to any person for\nany loss or damage which may result from such a suspension or postponement.

The Redemption Price.

The Redemption Price per Unit is determined\nby the Trustee by:

adding

cash in the Income and Capital Accounts of a Trust not designated to purchase Securities;

the aggregate underlying value of the Securities held in that Trust; and

dividends receivable on the Securities trading ex-dividend as of the date of computation; and

deducting

any applicable taxes or governmental charges that need to be paid out of such Trust;

any amounts owed to the Trustee for its advances;

estimated accrued expenses of such Trust, if any;

cash held for distribution to Unit holders of record of such Trust as of the business day before the evaluation being made;

liquidation costs for foreign Securities, if any; and

other liabilities incurred by such Trust; and

dividing

the result by the number of outstanding Units of such Trust.

Any remaining deferred sales charge on the\nUnits when you redeem them will be deducted from your redemption proceeds. In addition, until they are collected, the Redemption Price\nper Unit will include estimated organization costs as set forth under “Fee Table.”

\n \n \n

Investing in a New Trust

When each Trust is about to terminate, you\nmay have the option to roll your proceeds into the next series of a Trust (the “New Trusts”) if one is available. We intend\nto create the New Trusts in conjunction with the termination of the Trusts and plan to apply the same strategy we used to select the portfolio\nfor the Trusts to the New Trusts.

If you wish to have the proceeds from your\nUnits rolled into a New Trust you must notify the broker/dealer where your Units are held of your election prior to that firm’s\ncut-off date. If you make this election you will be considered a “Rollover Unit holder.”

Once all of the Securities are sold in connection\nwith the termination of a Trust, as described in “Amending or Terminating the Indenture,” your proceeds, less any brokerage\nfees, governmental charges or other expenses involved in the sales, will be used to buy units of a New Trust or trust with a similar investment\nstrategy that you have selected, provided such trusts are registered and being offered. Accordingly, proceeds may be uninvested for up\nto several days. Units purchased with rollover proceeds will generally be purchased subject to the sales charge set forth in the prospectus\nfor such trust.

We intend to create New Trust units as quickly\nas possible, depending on the availability of the securities contained in a New Trust’s portfolio. Rollover Unit holders will be\ngiven first priority to purchase New Trust units. We cannot, however, assure the exact timing of the creation of New Trust units or the\ntotal number of New Trust units we will create. Any proceeds not invested on behalf of Rollover Unit holders in New Trust units will be\ndistributed within a reasonable time after such occurrence. Although we believe that enough New Trust units can be created, monies in\na New Trust may not be fully invested on the next business day.

Please note that there are certain tax consequences\nassociated with becoming a Rollover Unit holder. See “Tax Status.” We may modify, amend or terminate this rollover option\nupon 60 days notice.

\n \n \n

Removing Securities from a Trust

The portfolios of the Trusts are not managed.\nHowever, we may, but are not required to, direct the Trustee to dispose of a Security in certain limited circumstances, including situations\nin which:

•

The issuer of the Security defaults in the payment of a declared dividend;

•

Any action or proceeding prevents the payment of dividends;

•

There is any legal question or impediment affecting the Security;

•

The issuer of the Security has breached a covenant which would affect the payment of dividends, the issuer’s credit standing,\nor otherwise damage the sound investment character of the Security;

•

The issuer has defaulted on the payment of any other of its outstanding obligations;

•

There has been a public tender offer made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced affecting a Security, and that in\nour opinion the sale or tender of the Security is in the best interest of Unit holders;

•

The sale of Securities is necessary or advisable (i) in order to maintain the qualification\nof a Trust as a “regulated investment company” in the case of a Trust which has elected to qualify as such or (ii) to provide\nfunds to make any distribution for a taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise taxes on undistributed income in\na Trust which is a “regulated investment company”;

•

The price of the Security has declined to such an extent, or such other credit factors exist, that in our opinion keeping the Security\nwould be harmful to a Trust;

•

As a result of the ownership of the Security, a Trust or its Unit holders would be a direct or indirect shareholder of a passive foreign\ninvestment company; or

•

The sale of the Security is necessary for a Trust to comply with such federal and/or state laws, regulations and/or regulatory actions\nand interpretations which may be in effect from time to time.

Except for instances in which a Trust acquires\nReplacement Securities, as described in “The FT Series,” a Trust will generally not acquire any securities or other property\nother than the Securities. The Trustee, on behalf of such Trust and at the direction of the Sponsor, will vote for or against any offer\nfor new or exchanged securities or property in exchange for a Security, such as those acquired in a merger or other transaction. If such\nexchanged securities or property are acquired by a Trust, at our instruction, they will either be sold or held in such Trust. In making\nthe determination as to whether to sell or hold the exchanged securities or property we may get advice from the Portfolio Supervisor.\nAny proceeds received from the sale of Securities, exchanged securities or property will be credited to the Capital Account of a Trust\nfor distribution to Unit holders or to meet redemption requests. The Trustee may retain and pay us or an affiliate of ours to act as agent\nfor a Trust to facilitate selling Securities, exchanged securities or property from the Trusts. If we or our affiliate act in this capacity,\nwe will be held subject to the restrictions under the 1940 Act. When acting in an agency capacity, we may select various broker/dealers\nto execute securities transactions on behalf of the Trusts, which may include broker/dealers who sell Units of the Trusts. We do not consider\nsales of Units of the Trusts or any other products sponsored by First Trust as a factor in selecting such broker/dealers.

As authorized by the Indenture, the Trustee\nmay also employ a subsidiary or affiliate of the Trustee to act as broker in selling such Securities or property. Each Trust will pay\nfor these brokerage services at standard commission rates.

The Trustee may sell Securities designated\nby us, or, absent our direction, at its own discretion, in order to meet redemption requests or pay expenses. In designating Securities\nto be sold, we will try to maintain the proportionate relationship among the Securities. If this is not possible, the composition and\ndiversification of a Trust may be changed.

\n \n \n

Amending or Terminating the Indenture

Amendments. The Indenture may be amended\nby us and the Trustee without your consent:

•

To cure ambiguities;

•

To correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;

•

To make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or

•

To make other changes determined not to be adverse to your best interests (as determined by us and the Trustee).

Termination. As provided by the Indenture,\neach Trust will terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date as stated in the “Summary of Essential Information.” The Trusts\nmay be terminated earlier:

•

Upon the consent of 100% of the Unit holders of a Trust;

•

If the value of the Securities owned by such Trust as shown by any evaluation is less than the lower of $2,000,000 or 20% of the total\nvalue of Securities deposited in such Trust during the initial offering period (“Discretionary Liquidation Amount”); or

•

In the event that Units of a Trust not yet sold aggregating more than 60% of the Units of such Trust are tendered for redemption by\nunderwriters, including the Sponsor.

If a Trust is terminated due to this last\nreason, we will refund your entire sales charge; however, termination of a Trust before the Mandatory Termination Date for any other stated\nreason will result in all remaining unpaid deferred sales charges on your Units being deducted from your termination proceeds. For various\nreasons, a Trust may be reduced below the Discretionary Liquidation Amount and could therefore be terminated before the Mandatory Termination\nDate.

Unless terminated earlier, the Trustee may\nbegin to sell Securities in connection with the termination of a Trust during the period beginning as early as nine business days prior\nto, but will sell Securities no later than, the Mandatory Termination Date. We will determine the manner and timing of the sale of Securities.\nBecause the Trustee must sell the Securities within a relatively short period of time, the sale of Securities as part of the termination\nprocess may result in a lower sales price than might otherwise be realized if such sale were not required at this time.

If you do not elect to participate in the\nrollover option, you will receive a cash distribution from the sale of the remaining Securities, along with your interest in the Income\nand Capital Accounts, within a reasonable time after your Trust is terminated. The Trustee will deduct from a Trust any accrued costs,\nexpenses, advances or indemnities provided for by the Indenture, including estimated compensation of the Trustee and costs of liquidation\nand any amounts required as a reserve to pay any taxes or other governmental charges.

Risk Factors

Securities.\nAn investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk\nthat the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen, and the\nvalue of the Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market\nmovements and to volatile increases and decreases of value, as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions\nare based on unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and\ninterest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises.

Dividends.\nShareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that are generally subordinate to\nthose of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks of, such issuers. Shareholders of common stocks have a right\nto receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts declared by the issuer’s board of directors and have a right to participate\nin amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for. Common stocks\ndo not represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection\nof capital as do debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock will create prior claims for payment of\nprincipal, interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on\nits common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. Cumulative\npreferred stock dividends must be paid before common stock dividends, and any cumulative preferred stock dividend omitted is added to\nfuture dividends payable to the holders of cumulative preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are also generally entitled to rights on\nliquidation which are senior to those of common stockholders.

Foreign\nIssuers. The following section applies to individual Trusts which contain Securities issued by, or invest in securities issued by,\nforeign entities. Since certain of the Securities held by the Trust consist of, or invest in, securities issued by foreign entities, an\ninvestment in the Trust involves certain investment risks that are different in some respects from an investment in a trust which invests\nsolely in the securities of domestic entities. These investment risks include future political or governmental restrictions which might\nadversely affect the payment or receipt of payment of dividends on the relevant Securities, the possibility that the financial condition\nof the issuers of the Securities may become impaired or that the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen (both of which\nwould contribute directly to a decrease in the value of the Securities and thus in the value of the Units), the limited liquidity and\nrelatively small market capitalization of the relevant securities market, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, economic uncertainties\nand foreign currency devaluations and fluctuations. In addition, for foreign issuers that are not subject to the reporting requirements\nof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, there may be less publicly available information than is available from a domestic\nissuer. Also, foreign issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices\nand requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. The securities of many foreign issuers are less liquid and their\nprices more volatile than securities of comparable domestic issuers. In addition, fixed brokerage commissions and other transaction costs\non foreign securities exchanges are generally higher than in the United States and there is generally less government supervision and\nregulation of exchanges, brokers and issuers in foreign countries than there is in the United States. However, due to the nature of the\nissuers of the Securities selected for the Trust, the Sponsor believes that adequate information will be available to allow the Supervisor\nto provide portfolio surveillance for the Trust.

Securities\nissued by non-U.S. issuers may pay interest and/or dividends in foreign currencies and may be principally traded in foreign currencies.\nTherefore, there is a risk that the U.S. dollar value of these interest and/or dividend payments and/or securities will vary with fluctuations\nin foreign exchange rates.

On\nthe basis of the best information available to the Sponsor at the present time, none of the Securities in the Trust are subject to exchange\ncontrol restrictions under existing law which would materially interfere with payment to the Trust of dividends due on, or proceeds from\nthe sale of, the Securities. However, there can be no assurance that exchange control regulations might not be adopted in the future which\nmight adversely affect payment to the Trust. The adoption of exchange control regulations and other legal restrictions could have an adverse\nimpact on the marketability of international securities in the Trust and on the ability of the Trust to satisfy its obligation to redeem\nUnits tendered to the Trustee for redemption. In addition, restrictions on the settlement of transactions on either the purchase or sale\nside, or both, could cause delays or increase the costs associated with the purchase and sale of the foreign Securities and correspondingly\ncould affect the price of the Units.

Investors\nshould be aware that it may not be possible to buy all Securities at the same time because of the unavailability of any Security, and\nrestrictions applicable to the Trust relating to the purchase of a Security by reason of the federal securities laws or otherwise.

Foreign\nsecurities generally have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be exempt from the registration requirements\nof such Act. Sales of non-exempt Securities by the Trust in the United States securities markets are subject to severe restrictions and\nmay not be practicable. Accordingly, sales of these Securities by the Trust will generally be effected only in foreign securities markets.\nAlthough the Sponsor does not believe that the Trust will encounter obstacles in disposing of the Securities, investors should realize\nthat the Securities may be traded in foreign countries where the securities markets are not as developed or efficient and may not be as\nliquid as those in the United States. The value of the Securities will be adversely affected if trading markets for the Securities are\nlimited or absent.

Small\nand/or Mid Capitalization Companies. The following section applies to individual Trusts which contain Securities issued by, or invest\nin Securities that hold securities issued by, small and/or mid capitalization companies. While historically stocks of small and mid capitalization\ncompanies have outperformed the stocks of large companies, the former have customarily involved more investment risk as well. Such companies\nmay have limited product lines, markets or financial resources; may lack management depth or experience; and may be more vulnerable to\nadverse general market or economic developments than large companies. Some of these companies may distribute, sell or produce products\nwhich have recently been brought to market and may be dependent on key personnel.

The\nprices of small and mid cap company securities are often more volatile than prices associated with large company issues, and can display\nabrupt or erratic movements at times, due to limited trading volumes and less publicly available information. Also, because such companies\nnormally have fewer shares outstanding and these shares trade less frequently than large companies, it may be more difficult for the Trusts\nwhich contain these Securities to buy and sell significant amounts of such shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing market prices.

Concentration

Concentration\nRisk. When 25% or more of a trust’s portfolio is invested in securities issued by companies within a single sector, the trust\nis considered to be concentrated in that particular sector. A portfolio concentrated in one or more sectors may present more risks than\na portfolio broadly diversified over several sectors.

The\nTarget Dividend Double Play Portfolio is concentrated in common stocks of companies within\nthe financials sector.

Financials.\nCompanies in the financials sector include regional and money center banks, securities brokerage firms, asset management companies, savings\nbanks and thrift institutions, specialty finance companies (e.g., credit card, mortgage providers), insurance and insurance brokerage\nfirms, consumer finance firms, financial conglomerates, foreign banking and financial companies.

Financial\ncompanies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which limits their activities and may affect their ability to earn a profit\nfrom a given line of business. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for companies\nin the financials sector, including effects not intended by the regulation. New legislation and regulatory changes could cause business\ndisruptions, result in significant loss of revenue, limit financial firms’ ability to pursue business opportunities, impact the\nvalue of business assets and impose additional costs that may adversely affect business. There can be no assurance as to the actual impact\nthese laws and their implementing regulations, or any other governmental program, will have on any individual financial company or on\nthe financial markets as a whole. Companies in the financials sector may also be the targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary\nor customer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

In\naddition, general economic conditions are important to the operations of these companies, and financial difficulties of borrowers may\nhave an adverse effect on the profitability of financial companies. Deteriorating economic fundamentals may increase the risk of\ndefault or insolvency of particular financial institutions, negatively impact market value, cause credit spreads to widen, and reduce\nbank balance sheets. Financial companies can be highly dependent upon access to capital markets, and any impediments to such\naccess, such as adverse overall economic conditions or a negative perception in the capital markets of a financial company’s financial\ncondition or prospects, could adversely affect its business. For example, any failure of a bank can result in disruption to the broader\nbanking industry or markets generally, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Deterioration of credit markets\ncan have an adverse impact on a broad range of financial markets, causing certain financial companies to incur large losses.\nIn these conditions, companies in the financials sector may experience significant declines in the valuation of their assets, take actions\nto raise capital and even cease operations. Some financial companies may also be required to accept or borrow significant amounts\nof capital from government sources and may face future government-imposed restrictions on their businesses or increased government intervention.\nHowever, there is no guarantee that governments will provide any such relief in the future and no certainty that such relief will mitigate\nthe effects of any failure of a financial institution on the economy or otherwise strengthen public confidence in financial institutions.\nThese actions may cause the securities of many companies in the financials sector to decline in value.

Banks,\nthrifts and their holding companies are especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession; volatile interest rates; portfolio\nconcentrations in geographic markets, in commercial and residential real estate loans or any particular segment or industry; and competition\nfrom new entrants in their fields of business. Banks, thrifts and their holding companies are subject to extensive federal regulation\nand, when such institutions are state-chartered, to state regulation as well. Such regulations impose strict capital requirements and\nlimitations on the nature and extent of business activities that banks and thrifts may pursue. Regulatory actions, such as increases in\nthe minimum capital requirements applicable to banks and thrifts and increases in deposit insurance premiums required to be paid by banks\nand thrifts to the FDIC, can negatively impact earnings and the ability of a company to pay dividends. Neither federal insurance of deposits\nnor governmental regulations, however, insures the solvency or profitability of banks or their holding companies, or insures against any\nrisk of investment in the securities issued by such institutions.

Interest\nrate levels, general economic conditions and price and marketing competition also affect insurance company profits. Companies involved\nin the insurance industry are engaged in underwriting, reinsuring, selling, distributing or placing of property and casualty, life or\nhealth insurance. Property and casualty insurance profits may also be affected by weather catastrophes and other disasters. Life and health\ninsurance profits may be affected by mortality and morbidity rates. Individual companies may be exposed to material risks including reserve\ninadequacy and the inability to collect from reinsurance carriers. Insurance companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation,\nincluding the imposition of maximum rate levels, which may not be adequate for some lines of business. Proposed or potential tax law changes\nmay also adversely affect insurance companies’ policy sales, tax obligations, and profitability. In addition to the foregoing, profit\nmargins of these companies continue to shrink due to the commoditization of traditional businesses, new competitors, capital expenditures\non new technology and the pressures to compete globally. All insurance companies are subject to state laws and regulations that require\ndiversification of their investment portfolios and limit the amount of investments in certain investment categories. Failure to comply\nwith these laws and regulations would cause non-conforming investments to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring\nstatutory surplus and, in some instances, would require divestiture associations.
